**********~META TURN:Keycards: 2/8
GoalsFind the keycard stations.
Current SoundtrackElevator RoomActionsRW: Examine pedistal, then enter elevator.
(...) You decide to sit down and relax instead.
Meta: Hop in the elevator, pick a deck at random let the hippo pick a deck
(...) You walk over to the elevator.
"An ascending room, eh? I'd be inclined to choose deck M3, myself, old boy."
"I say vee should go to zee therd deck."
"I DEMAND BLOOD SACRIFICE"
So hard to choose!
Meta: Crawl to the new pink zone and see If I can find new legs
(...) You crawl into the medbay, then into the newly opened cryogenics and prosthetics laboratory. The walls are lined with bubbling tanks of cyan liquid, and the room glows with a soft green light periodically. Tracing the light's source, you see another, larger medi-bot laying against the back wall. You crawl on over and activate it.
Medi-bot: "How may I help you?"
"I, uh... need new legs."
Medi-bot: "Proper access codes detected. Searching prosthetics database... all prosthetic limb replacements on this vessel have expired. Sorry for the inconvenience."
"Hmmm... what about this?"
*You hold up the cheetah corpse you had been dragging*
Medi-bot: "This limb is suitable for bionic limb replacement."
After a surprisingly short procedure, during which the medi-bot attaches the cheetah legs to your nervous system, you get up and check out your new legs!
New Bionic Enhancement Acquired: Digitigrade Legs+1 to movement rolls.
Meta: See if the keycard station will tell me what things require pink access, and where those things are.
(...) You activate the pedestal. Two new pedestal locations have been revealed.
You swipe the pink keycard through the reader on the pedestal, and it displays new information.
Pink Access: 2 Areas
Cryogenics and Prosthetics Lab, Main Deck
Weapons Testing, Deck M1RW: Enter bionics lab and get the nerd to help me connect the arm to my nervous system.
(...) You walk into the laboratory to find Kyle laying on a table. A medi-bot is standing over him and using some sorta sautering iron thingy on his legs. A second medi-bot rolls over to you, facepalms, and sits you down at another table. It then proceeds to graft the mechanical arm to your arm stub.
New Bionic Enhancement Acquired: Bionic Arm+1 to strength and hand-to-hand combat rolls with the left arm.

FW: 1. Slow ship to a more manageable, but still fairly great speed.
FW: 2. Attempt meditation and decipher how I healed various injuries with my magic.
FW: 3. Channel summoning magic into my tooth. Lots of summoning magic.
(...) The ship slows to the optimum speed, balancing perfectly on the crest of the tidal wave.
(...) Concentrating on the force you felt before, you try to decipher it. All you can tell is that it isn't magic, at least in the traditional sense. It's something more... primal.
(...) You channel as much summoning magic into the tooth as possible, causing it to grow into a disembodied mouth full of razor-sharp teeth! It kind of looks like...
like...Fantasy: Brew alcohol (x3)
(...) You walk down to the lower decks to fetch some still parts, but end up tumbling down the stairs. JC follows you down there.
(...) Lucky for you, there's already a working still down here! You brew a case of booze, and gulp down a whole bottle of it. JC is smiling at you the whole time, it's kind of creepy.
(...) You only manage to produce one case, so you take it with you.
Fantasy:
1. Pull Urist out of hole
2. Have him heal me.
3. Throw something off the boat.
(...) You fail to get Urist out of the hole.
(...) You try again, and succeed! Urist heals your arm.
(...) You thank him by tossing him off the boat.
Fantasy: Move to the back of the ship, increasing the rear weight so we don't flip over.
(...) You move to the back of the ship, perfectly balancing the load.
FW:-Apply splint.
-Climb out of hole.
-Forcibly heal HEN.
(...) You apply the splint to your toe.
(....) You leap out of the hole, bowling over HEN.
(...) You clean off HEN's wound and apply a +rat leather bandage+ you made earlier. He tosses you off the ship. The water is FREEZING here!
The wave flattens and the ship begins to slow down. A tall, dark tower looms on the horizon.
"Nolsmustul."
The boat approaches shore. A light snowfall descends from above as you look up at the black tower before you. It is surrounded by smaller buildings, most of them abandoned. Skulls rest on pikes lining the edge of the encampment. "We have arrived. We must see the chieftain at once!"
